Geo. Augustus Sala In the Tropics.
 George Augustus Sala, the well known En- glish writer, on his last Australian trip wrote as follows to the London Daily Telegraph:
 ''I especially have pleasant remembrance of the ships doetor-a very experienced maritime medico indeed, who tended me most kindly during horrible spell of bron- chitis and spasmodic asthma, provoked by the sea fog which had swooped down on us just after we left San Francisco. But the doctors prescriptions and the increasing warmth of the temperature as we neared the tropics, and, in particuls-, a couple of All cocks Porous Plasters clapped on-one on the chest and another between the shoulder blades-soon set me right"

A Wonderful History.

Dr. R. c. Flower spent more than six years of patient study and exhaustive re- search perfecting his great nerve and brain food The success that has attended his eff forts more than compentates the time and labor they cost. His scientific Nerve Pills are to-day the most remarkable remedy known in medicine. They are a combina tion of the finest nutritive elements in the world; they rapidly build up and restore the weakened and shattered brain and nerve power; they do not contain particle of opium, chloral, bromide, arsenic, strychnine or other poisonous drug; they are as harm Jess as the most healthful food, and in the same way nourish and strengthen the brain and nerves. Thousands are living witnesses of the marvellous restorative powers of these pills. They are living evidence of the splendid results that can be achieved by scientific skill, untiring study and patient labor. 100 doses in every bottle.

Copied from a Portrait 23O Years Old.
 When Elihu Yale founded that time hon. ored institution of learning, Yale College, he struck a blow at ignorance that has rever- 'berated for more than two centuries through out the length and breadth of the land, and placed his name in the foremost rank of America's public benefactors. But greater scourge than ignorance is now running rampant in our midst. Do you know what ails you when you have dull headache ;no appetite; nothing tastes good that you eat; specks pass before your eyes; low spirits; an irritable and peevish temper; bowels con- stipated; an appearance of red or white brick dust in the urine; tired feeling and don't know what ails you? You have fallen a victim to that modern scourge Malaria. Nothing on this earth will tone you up so quickly and arrest the progress of Malaria as Lewis Red Jacket Bitters, the only sure cure for Dumb Ague, Chills and Fever, and all forms of Malaria. Don't wait till you are on your back but begin at once the use of Lewis Red Jacket Bitters.

The Colors of Canaries.

With regard to the yellow color Of
the canary bird and Its testimony to Mr..
Darwin's theory it is said that, after do
mestication in Belgium, Germany, and
England, "a point with which tcmpera-
ture or climate may have had something
to do,) the birds threw up on the
feathers small patches Of yellow of lighter
color, and by carefully matching those
birds that had the largest number of
these patches the breeders at length, and
after a considerable period, succeeded in
obtaining bright and unif orm yellow
color more closely resembling what are
called the 'clear" birds of today. But
the application Of the phrase 'canary
color, !" to indicate special shade of yell
low, though general, is not justified by
the facts. Canaries Of pure breed are to
he found Of many colors. Whole breeds
are green; and, By feeding on pepper
and other seeds, canaries have been pro-
dueed Of cinnamon and coffee color, and
even Of red and, in the Lizard variety,
the bird, though yellow in the crown,
is elsewhere shaded and spangIed in the
most Lovely manner All the Year
Round.
